This privacy policy explains how Roth Media GmbH (“Roth Media GmbH”, “we”, “us”, “our”), operator of the GrammarCheck website and services (“GrammarCheck”), collects, uses, and protects personal data.
We are committed to maintaining the accuracy, confidentiality, and security of your personal information. We use your data strictly within the limits of Swiss law and, where applicable, the GDPR.
1. Data Controller / Contact
The data controller responsible for data processing is:
Roth Media GmbH (Swiss LLC), operator of GrammarCheck
Lorrainestrasse 19
3013 Bern
Switzerland
For any questions, contact: privacy(at)grammarcheck.net
2. Scope of Data Protection
Personal data refers to information relating to an identified or identifiable person, including IP addresses, email addresses, or messages submitted through our contact form.
3. Automatic Data Collection
When you access our website, your browser automatically transmits data such as:
- Date and time of access
- Browser type and version
- Operating system
- Referring URL
- Amount of data transferred
- Requesting domain
- Notification of successful access
- IP address
This data is used for technical operation, performance analysis, and security.
4. Texts and Corrections — Grammar Checker (Free)
When using our free grammar checker, the text you enter, along with technical metadata such as your IP address, can potentially and temporarily be transmitted to a third-party API provider in order to perform the language-processing functions you requested. This processing is performed in real time and the text is not permanently stored by us.
These third-party providers operate under their own privacy policies and data-handling practices. Roth Media GmbH does not control or audit how such providers store, retain, or secure the text or metadata they receive.
We do not store, retain, log, or create profiles of the text you enter into the free grammar checker.
You must not submit personal, sensitive, or confidential information into the free grammar checker, as the text may be visible to third-party API providers during processing.
5. Texts and API Processing — Online Editor & Deep Check
Certain tools and features on www.grammarcheck.net/editor, including the “Deep Check” function, may send the text you enter, along with technical metadata such as your IP address, to third-party API providers for processing. These external providers use this information temporarily in order to generate grammar, style, or linguistic analyses.
These providers operate under their own privacy policies and data-handling practices. Roth Media GmbH does not control or audit how such providers store, retain, or secure the text or metadata they receive.
The text you type or paste into the online editor is stored temporarily in your own browser for functionality and is not permanently stored by us. However, when you activate specific tools or features (for example, “Deep Check”), the relevant text may be transmitted to third-party APIs as part of processing your request.
For this reason, we advise you not to submit personal, sensitive, or confidential information into our online editor.
We do not transmit names, email addresses, account data, or other direct identifiers to third-party API providers. However, as part of normal web requests, your IP address may be visible to those providers.
To the extent technically possible, text is transmitted without direct identifiers. However, the text itself may contain personal information if you choose to enter it. You are responsible for ensuring that you do not include personal or sensitive data in the text you submit.
6. Contact Form
If you use our contact form, we collect:
- Your name
- Your email address
- Your message
This data is used solely to respond to your inquiry. Messages are retained only as long as necessary for communication and legal compliance.
The contact form uses Cloudflare Turnstile to prevent spam. Cloudflare may collect limited technical data (e.g., IP address, device characteristics) as part of this service.
7. Cookies
We use cookies to enable website functionality and improve user experience. You may disable cookies in your browser, but some features may not function correctly.
8. Google Analytics (with IP anonymization)
We use Google Analytics with IP anonymization. Data may be transferred to Google servers in the USA. Google may process data as required by law or by its service agreements.
User event data is deleted after 50 months.
9. Cloudflare Turnstile
We use Cloudflare Turnstile to prevent spam and abuse. Cloudflare may collect limited technical data for bot prevention. This data is handled under Cloudflare’s privacy policy.
10. Affiliate Links
We may receive commissions if you install or purchase third-party apps through our links. When you click an affiliate link, the third-party site may collect its own data. These third-party services have independent privacy policies and terms.
11. Your Rights
Because GrammarCheck is designed to minimize data collection, most of the rights described below primarily apply only to information that you voluntarily submit through our contact form. We do not store or retain the text you enter into the free grammar checker, and texts submitted to third-party APIs via the online editor or "Deep Check" cannot be retrieved, erased, or modified by Roth Media GmbH. Requests concerning data processed by these third-party providers must be directed to the respective provider. In all other cases, we will comply with applicable data protection rights to the extent that we hold identifiable information about you.
You have the following rights under applicable data protection law:
- Right to information
- Right to rectification
- Right to erasure
- Right to restrict processing
- Right to object
- Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority
12. Security
We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to secure your data against unauthorized access or disclosure.
